I'd appreciate any suggestions. Well the SCARY option is to go ahead and do the removal and then apt-get install the kernel of your choice, which should drag back everything else you need (not sure about base-config) and then redo you're bootloader, all before bothering to reboot. Of course if your power fails mid-transition, well, you know. I did this once, didn't reboot, and actually forgot I was still running on a kernel that had been removed...ymmv. not recommended for newbies. actually, now that I think about it, how can you NOT have libc6 already?
